MISSIONS

Taking the message of Christ to our neighbors and to the world.

We are involved in Missions because Jesus Christ left His followers with a command before He ascended back into Heaven (aka "the Great Commission"). At RCC we believe it is a command the Church is to obey even today:

Therefore GO and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

(Matthew 28:19, 20 NIV)

BUT... we would miss the heart of missions if we simply left it as just a "duty" to be fulfilled. Worship of God fuels Missions and therefore Missions is an expression of Worship. The overflow of our worship is a desire to share God's glory with others and, thus, we naturally become missional! THAT causes us to be excited to join God in what He is doing in our backyards, our nation and throughout the world!
